The race of man is far more than the physical race however. You see him in but one stage of development. When an individual leaves your system it is for other systems. He has learned his A B C’s, but that is all. There are some exceptions—identities that choose, then, to return and teach. They are not in the same league, so to speak, as those whose reincarnational cycles are not complete.

They may return, even enduring violence, as a man might set up a school amid a jungle of savages. And yet even with this there are advances made within the system itself. A nuclear weapon in the hands of the inhabitants of middle-age Europe would have been used almost immediately, and with nary a qualm, to wipe out all but Christendom.

Women were scarcely thought of as human creatures, but in very select circles. The progression through the centuries would be far more noticeable if you knew all the facts. There is one aspect here that I have not previously mentioned. Man was not allowed to play with the more dangerous toys until certain evidence was given that he had gained some control.

Now there is a reason why these lessons must be learned in just this way. Elementally there is only creativity. Destruction is merely the changing of form. A cloudburst or a tornado knows nothing of destruction. This same energy encased within a human form is something else. There are different kinds of creativity, then, to learn, and a specialization in energy is focus and feelings that emerge; elemental energy becoming conscious of itself, and aware of issues that did not exist for it earlier; millions of molecules momentarily united with the living consciousness (pause), filled with primal energy, now learning love, and forming highly sensitive psychic patterns, electrical charges that now form emotions instead of clouds; the innocent chaos of undifferentiated personality that exists behind the highly specified and truly sophisticated mechanism of one thought. And all of this before an individual is born within your system. In terms of time this is behind us all.

Little wonder that psychic battles wage, and yet beyond your system there are refinements impossible to describe, and further developments more miraculous than those that have gone before. And through all of this, the entity formed from that massive chaos retains its identity and the knowledge of its pasts, and continues to grow in creativity.

The energy that was liberated has already changed your national scene, and will continue to do so. Such massive liberations of energy will be used, but not in your lifetime, to begin to unify the whole planet, in peace. This will not happen before disasters also occur, but when it does happen it will represent the first such time within the planet’s history where there was peace with equality for all.

Again, this happened within your own system. Many entities have no need for form, in your terms, at all, but we will not be concerned with them this evening. (Pause.) This original system of which I have spoken will at least be theorized shortly, but the idea will not be taken seriously enough to cause any deep controversy.
